Excerpt from Message of Austin L. Crothers, Governor of Maryland: To the General Assembly of Maryland, at Its Regular Session, January, 1912 When it is remembered that with the last three years there has been issued of Road bonds, of Road and Bridge bonds, of Insane Hospital bonds, of Tuberculosis Sanitorium bonds, making in the aggregate and the net State indebtedness as shown above of or but little more than half the amount of the recent bond issue as above stated, shows a most gratifying condition of the finances of the State. But this splendid condition must not be permitted to induce us to be more extravagant in our expenditures, but rather to suggest increased and more rigid economy, because it is only by the practice of economy in the different Depart ments of the State Government that such a financial condi tion could be secured and the additional burdens on the State Treasury in the future, to which I shall refer later, more in detail, would in itself make such a policy necessary.
